tex mex breakfast chimichanga
This is one of those recipes where measurements just aren't needed. I used leftover's, fresh veggies, fried taters and of course cheese. The only thing I would suggest, if using meat, make sure it's one you like with eggs. Enjoy!

How To Make tex mex breakfast chimichanga
-
Step 1I started the process by dicing some red potatoes (4) and onion (1/2) and fried in the same skillet I had cooked steak in the night before.
-
Step 2While that was cooking I diced 2 tomatoes, and 2 jalapeno's and put in a non stick skillet and started cooking them with a little bacon grease I had.
-
Step 3Then I cut the leftover steak up into large bite size pcs. and chopped some cilantro.
-
Step 4Then I popped the steak in my food processor and gave it a whirl to chop it nicely.
